For the Lenten season: Pergolesi: Stabat Mater

I performed this last year with the Stillwater Chamber Singers during the Lenten season and fell completely in love with it. If you're at all familiar with Mozart's Requiem, you can hear many parallels from the Stabat Mater. It was quite a popular work in the mid to late 18th century and most likely Leopold Mozart used it as a teaching piece for young Wolfgang.

Here are the first few movements sung by alto René Jacobs and boy soprano Sebastian Henning.
